Hi, I seem to remember seeing that piece of kit on another thread here; it's an expensive pice of kit if I remember rightly, not something that my local kwik-fit has. I'll see if I can find a place with one local in Cambridge and try that kind of balance first. If I can't find one local as I plan to come to you to get the geometry set-up on the car anyhow I'll get the wheels balanced properly then. Thanks for the response. James.

They are genuine Ford 18inch ST wheels (the wheels I took off and the ones I replaced them with, all direct from Ford - much to the detriment of my bank balance!)

Hi, I have a 2006 Focus ST and I've noticed slight (maybe 2/3 mm) steering wheel wobble at between 65 and 75 MPH, I had the wheels balanced and found the front wheels were buckled so I bought 2 brand new wheels thinking it would solve the problem but it didn't, the wobble is still there with the 2 brand new 18 inch wheels. The car does not drift nor does it pull to either side under braking; the steering wheel appears central to me and the only other behaviour I've noticed is a decrease in tyre noise when the steering wheel is turned to the left slightly (by less than 20 degrees). I'm not sure what to try next to cure the wobble; would tracking / alignment / geometry setup be a possible cause for the wobble or should I look elsewhere first, such as a more accurate balancing, I thought replacing the buckled front alloy wheels with known straight wheels would cure the problem, obviously I was wrong. Any other suggestions? Thanks, James.
